High Salary C

Clint Capela ($7,500): Capela has come into his own this series on both ends of the floor. He’s always a double-double threat with his scoring and rebounding, but he’s make an impact defensively as well. He’s becoming less reliant on James Harden to hit value, which is huge. ****

Rudy Gobert ($6,400): Gobert doesn’t have the ceiling that Capela does, but he does just enough to hit value. He’ll give you around 30 fantasy points, but he’ll continue to struggle offensively without Rubio finding him for easy baskets. ***

High Value C

Derrick Favors ($4,400): It doesn’t matter if he’s starting or coming off the bench. Favors hasn’t performed well this series and there is no optimism surrounding him heading into Game 5. The ability is there, but he’s shown nothing this series to give me confidence. *

Nene ($2,700): If you’re not going to get a high salary guy, get the lowest possible salary and spend elsewhere. Nene may give you a handful of fantasy points, but the extra $200 you save by adding DeMarcus Cousins can be used to take Chris Paul over Jrue Holiday.
